If we do not meet a binding delivery date or a binding delivery period, the customer shall grant us a reasonable grace period which may not be less than two weeks.

Section 5 Contracts concerning rendering services

(1) If the subject matter of the contract is the rendering of animations and/or images, the customer must have a computer connected to the internet on which the operating system Windows/Mac, a legally licensed 3D software which is supported by us (see “Render Farm Specs”) and which was used to create the digital data to be rendered as well as the software “RebusFarm 2.0 Software” are installed without errors. According to the End User License Agreement (EULA) for the “RebusFarm 2.0 Software” the customer has the right to use the software “RebusFarm 2.0 Software” free of charge.

(2) With the acquisition of a credit, a claim for the provision of rendering services is established towards us. The customer may assert this claim by placing a render order using the “RebusFarm 2.0 Software” after registration.

(3) The execution of a render order is paid in RenderPoints with one RenderPoint corresponding to one EUR. The number of RenderPoints required for the execution of a render order depends on the scope and complexity of the 3D scenes submitted by the customer. The customer can make a non-binding advance projection of the presumably required RenderPoints in the section “Calculate Render Costs” or - for a more accurate projection - by transmitting excerpts of the 3D scene using the “RebusFarm 2.0 Software”.

(4) The render result is one or more image files in the file formats jpg, jpeg, tif, tiff, png, bmp, exr, fxr, hdr, pic, rpf, tga, vda, jcb, vst. The render result will be downloaded using the RebusFarm software “RebusFarm 2.0 Software” to a folder selected by the customer on his/her computer. Seven days after the provision of the render result, it will be irrevocably deleted (“provision period”). After expiry of the provision period, a download is not possible anymore, unless we agree otherwise with the customer before the render order is placed.

(5) Apart from this, the conclusion of the contract and the execution of the contract in the case of contracts concerning the rendering of 3D scenes are described in the “Contractual information”.
